This is the road to Coll dels Reis from Sa Calobra in Mallorca.
It's easier than it looks, it's a 700m climb with an average of 7% and a couple of short pieces a little steeper.

It was über-cool.
Considering my season was screwed but now I firmly believe I'm fixed.

Because you get to descend first, then climb it. Sa Calobra is a tiny hamlet now-turned-tourist-trap that used to be only accessible by sea before the road was built. Initially as a gravel path, for smuggling.

Looks fantastic! Wonderful pictures :)

Looks like fun in a very twisted way.:D
Thanks for sharing.

Wow :eek:


I'm a flat-lander weenie, I admit it.

For me it'd be the other way round:
"WOW"...first;
("OUTTA MY WAY"... second;)
"WHEEEEEEEEEE"...third!

Where you been, bunny? Glad to have you back and to hear you're well!

Looks like a great ride.

Wow! That looks like some serious fun :D
